Our fantastic new permanent sponsor, Swirlydoos:

Swirlydoos scrapbook kit club was born from a void in the scrapbooking market catering to “seasoned” scrapbookers.  From our very first kit in January, 2009 we’ve been catering to both beginner scrapbookers and more advanced scrappers who aspire to take their creativity to the next level. Our kits are comprised of elegant papers and products that help our members create beautiful pieces of art within their scrapbooks. Swirlydoos tries to include only the newest and most innovative products on the market, as well as showcasing handmade and non-traditional products that we find within the crafting community.  We encourage new growth in our members by offering monthly challenges on our forums and offering both photo and video tutorials which help them to lea new tips, tricks and techniques. We also offer a monthly technique or project kit with examples to help further our members in their artistic ability. In addition, we offer our Signature flower add on, a cardstock add on, a patte paper add on, an embellishment add and our newest Mediums add on for those ladies who can never have too many scrappy goodies!
We also offer an online store where members can purchase scrapbook supplies and have them shipped free of charge with their monthly scrapbook kits! This helps our members to save money on shipping, and allows them to get their hands on new product they may not be able to find elsewhere. We will also accommodate our customers with their special orders when we can.

Finally, I (Debbi Tehrani) am donating some "big stuff" from my stash. 


As you may know, I scrap 8 x 8, and there are some things in my stash that are just too big for my pages. Pictured below are some of the things I will pack into the box (there will be more things than what is pictured), including some flowers from Prima, some lovely 2Crafty chipboard, a few stamps, and various alphabets. I will randomly choose a winner within the United States, due to the cost of shipping.
